Nice! Here in BC Canada, Bird Flu popped up a few weeks ago, so our bird feeders have been emptied, washed and stored to reduce the spread to poultry.
Some lessons to be learned about constructing and mounting nesting boxes I think!
It is caused by a fungus that can spread between plants. Julie says it is a bit drastic, but cut down to near ground level and destroy the cuttings, not compost them. Keep watering, because the roots are not affected, and it will grow back.Got a problem with my clematis. All of a sudden I have lost two to clematis wilt and a third is beginning to suffer similarly. Anyone got any suggestions for cures? Thanks

Friend told me never buy metal boxes as they get too hot and the eggs or chicks roastView attachment 170339

Yes, you are right.
We have to put a metal plate over the hole in all our bird boxes (with a hole in of course), to try and defeat the woodpecker. One of them, a bit out of sight of the house, had the bottom pecked away instead.
They are normally well used, but this year less so.

well doneI made a starling proof feeder out of a propagator. I cut four small holes around the tray and the little birds can feed in peace.

He appears in the lyrics of In An English Country Garden but I have never seen one in the UK have any of you?This Cardinal bird and it’s mate regularly come to my sons bird feeder but this is the first time I’ve been able to get a photo before he disappears. Wonderful colouring on these birds. I believe this one is a male, but regardless we’ve named him ‘Nan’ (after my son’s grandma). He usually visits with his mate who is less colourful. Viv.
